Oma's Crash

I woke up at 1600 yesterday (hey, I work nights) and my husband informed me that his mom had been in a car accident. We were not getting any answers from family in the area (non-medical folks) so I said "We're going." Jump in the car and 230 miles later (in less than 4 hours) we are in Madison Heights on our way up to the ICU. We had been told all she had was a broken wrist and ankle. So why the ICU bed? Turns our she also has a pelvic fracture and chest contusions from the airbag. The Docs are concerned about cardiac contusions, and her advanced age has them a bit cautious as well. Ma's 75, but she acts 50. I forget about her "advanced age".

Seems she ran a red light. Not sure of all the details, but the car is totaled. Someone called from the accident site to inform my BIL of the accident, and he was able to get there before the ambulance took her away. Thank you, who every you are.
